fix: release change log (#1190)

* Roll back my previous changes. The previous code is correct. The
release URL is not updated until we upload assets, so it should affect
things.
* The root cause is the checkout action used by github tries to optimize
and does not pull histories of commits besides the head. Consequently,
our script cannot get changelog from the git histories.
